This is so, so well-articulated.

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

Well if I can't plug this now, when can I?? :)

In 1967, IBM introduced the System/4 Pi line of aerospace computers, packing mainframe performance into a compact box. 4 Pi computers powered everything from military aircraft to the Space Shuttle to sonar systems on submarines. Thread...

@garethdennis.uk @railnatter.uk Sharing this with you, not so much a railway story but a medicine story. Just in case you didn’t already know about it.

@science-grrl.bsky.social Here is a post that you might like.

This is how I access Bluesky

The Green Party has won more elections than Reform have. Why are Reform constantly on TV and the Green Party is ignored? The electorate says it should be the other way around.

Re-posting this fox, just in case anyone needs an emergency fox.

It looks like The BlueDot festival is no more, but this could be a good option if you need a science festival. ⬇️

And there we have it. The Daily Mail has now jumped on the bandwagon🙄 Want the reality? 👇🏼 bsky.app/profile/monk...

@artemisapphire.bsky.social Hello Tansy. I am not on X anymore, just thought that I would ask how you are? and how is your screenplay progressing? 🙂

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Finished work and about to listen to @garius.bsky.social new podcast as I drive home! It has cats in it, innit. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Not normal for me to comment positively on a conservative Prime Minister, but David Cameron’s decision to appoint Larry The Cat as Chief Mouser was an excellent decision, and one of the very few things that he got right.

Man, remember when Science Twitter was awesome and you could just tweet with an astronaut on the freaking ISS? Those were the days.

Dominic Dyer: @number10cat.bsky.social Larry the Cat will have been in Downing Street 15 years next week, he is the most stable thing about British politics these days

FACT OF THE DAY. 25 January 1890. The attempt by American journalist Nellie Bly (born Elizabeth Jane Cochran) to travel around the world in less than 80 days was successful. She aimed to emulate Jules Verne’s fictional character, Phileas Fogg, in Around The World in 80 Days. Bly took 72 days.

🚨 ONE HOUR TO GO! 🚨

I’m pleased to announce that I will be leading a Westminster Hall debate on ‘Tackling digital exploitation of women and girls’ on Tuesday 27 January. Watch the debate live on Tuesday 27th January at 4.30pm at: www.parliamentlive.tv/Commons

Try to imagine the news cycle, had President Biden opened up a book of pictures during a press availability, flipped through it, and rambled an incoherent stream of lies that have been repeatedly debunked. Just imagine. Now look at any national news source. ...Yeah. 🤷‍♂️

Just a regular fox taking an #earlymodern Uber. Nothing to see here. #skystorians

I have watched the first two episodes of Star Trek : Starfleet Academy So far I like it. #StarfleetAcademy

This tool is really helpful for finding MPs on bluesky. 365 UK MPs (56%) now have accounts, but the proportion differs hugely across political parties -

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

And for the people fleeing wannabe space wanker and his racist hordes there is also this starter pack for women in history …

We seem to be having another influx… For those looking to shortcut to some military history nerds…

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

So far today I have managed two Bluesky replies on the subject of Parisian baked pastries. Will now have to seek out some croissants up here in Preston, which is very much like Paris.

I'm going to the boulangerie during my break in Paris, does anyone need anything?

Important timeline cleanse

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Have just remembered that I am signed up for an online history course this evening. Of course I have left my only headset at work, and can’t even remember if I have Zoom installed on my computer. doh!

At the weekend I deleted my account on X (Twitter) I had been deliberating about it for some time, during which time I used it less and less. Before leaving I used a tool identify Bluesky profiles of people that I was following on X, I can share details of that if anyone needs it. (1/4)

@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social I listened to the audiobook of The Good The Bad and The Fury while driving over Christmas and enjoyed it very much. The narrator’s interpretation of Ralph saying “Ralph” was better than I had imagined when I read the book. Have now started listening to EWSY.

I have just deactivated my old Twitter/X account. The right thing to do, but also sad because when back when it was good, I made many real life friends through Twitter.

They should make Jools Holland do The Hootenanny actually live. Build a studio on the roof of the Houses of Parliament. Have the studio roof open to show the fireworks.

Happy New Year Everyone!

“The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals — many of them not digitized or available anywhere else.”

It's been an exciting year in space, with new telescopes commissioned, lots of rocket launches and lunar landings, space tourism, "stranded" astronauts on both the ISS and Tiangong space stations, a potentially hazardous asteroid, and an interstellar comet! Lots more to look forward to in 2026...

This day 57 years ago. Earthrise. A remarkable view of Earth hoving into view as the Apollo 8 command module flew over the lunar surface. That's us. That's home.

If you like this level of airline history and passenger experience detail, you'll LOVE @theupfront.media, which @garius.bsky.social and I launched in May — our 7-month anniversary is this week! For more history, read his incredible story of the California Clipper: theupfront.media/the-long-way...

I missed #Caturday but this cat belongs on your timeline regardless of the day!

Emergency Otters!

Days later, and I am still humming along to this tune… bsky.app/profile/bran...

THREAD. A collection of photos I have taken of excellent cats I have met on walks. You will find the captions to the photos in the alt text.
